    Up against DC against this season. Should be interesting.

    On paper, Oxford vs Peterborough and Ipswich vs Portsmouth look the pick of the ties.

    Walsall unbeaten so far this season too - should be an interesting battle.

    Such a pity no fans allowed - kind of takes the shine off getting a big team later in the competition if we get that far.

    Tom Nichols got a hattrick today as Crawley beat Torquay 6 - 5 I think they said he had 7 or 8 so far this season always said he would get goals, shame they weren't for us

    I always felt there was a half decent striker in there somewhere - trouble is, how long could we afford to wait for him to get his act together? Think he had more than enough opportunity, might simply be that league 1 was a step too far for him, or alternatively, Rovers weren't the right team for him at the time. Either way, I personally wish him well at Crawley - hope he continues to have a successful period with them.

    He was under far too much pressure to score goals, but I thought he was exceptional at linking play and underrated for most of his time at the club.

    If only Nichols had 120 minutes each game for us to score goals ;)

    Having said how well I hope TN does this season, what's the betting we get Crawley away in the 2nd round, and he knocks us out of the cup all on his own!! <doh>

    Darlington at home is a decent draw. Hopefully we'll get a bit of a run this year.

    I would be disappointed if we didn't reach the 3rd round.
